First up I would like to thank the Coconut Island guys for asking me to help on their project. Its certainly attracted plenty of attention in the pinball community and its great to see them having a crack at what is understandably a very difficult project.
This is the 3rd revision of this art.
Let me know what you guys think and if you think I should change anything, speak up!

The front still needs a tree or 2 as well.
I haven't done the head box yet but it will only be a Palm Tree with a Flare.
:D

Unbelieveable work. Awesome. Puts a lot of the big boys cab art to shame.
-
That is totally awesome spacies $%$

That is simply stunning, Spacies #*#
It suits the theme of the game and also compliments the vibrant colors on the playfield.
It puts the recent Stern Cab art to shame.
My only question - The game is called "Coconut Island" - But where are the coconuts ? !@#
Edit - The Coconuts are there (brownish color) - But were not easy for me to find.. Maybe lighten them up a bit or put them in front of the grass ?
My wife says that you should "cut the grass" %.% , Then they can be seen better..
I think the topper is a lawn mower, so just ask the boys if you can borrow it !^!

Don't worry Mark - My missus spotted them, after reading my post - So I did get a slap in the back of the head.
In my defense, I was blinded by the quality of the rest of the images...
Spacies - how long did it take to do ?
-
Looks great Spacies, this was me when I saw the pics ^%^
-
Hey thanks guys.
I just made some changes. I cut the grass to expose the coconuts some more. Moved the grass,sand,water down a bit as well.
(http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL2001/10876724/21453039/353953649.jpg)
Added some things to the front as well.
Don't want to make it too busy :D

Congratulations on being involved and coming up with something so good.

indeed...f**king stoked *%*
-
Spacies, we are over the moon with your efforts! Fantastic! Just on the phone with nug - decided we like some of the long grass a bit - maybe a compromise between versions one and two?
-
Spacies,
Looks fantastic mate! I defiantly prefer the second version of the artwork, even though it is only slightly changed from the first... looks more complete.
-
looking at that, i think the final product is going to look AWESOME.
well done @@* @@* @@* @@* @@* @@* @@*

Thanks fellas.
Added heaps of shit this time round and a couple of close ups:

Thats great looking art.

Going to be an awesome looking cabinet

That's awesome..
I'm keen to see the head side art Spacies !

The mask, pot, 2 of the flowers are clip art. The rest is hand drawn vector. Take a look @ these pics:
Each dot is a click of the mouse, then you drag to get the right shape, then you fill it with the colour you want. Vector can be blown up as big as you want without pixelation as apposed to raster images (photos etc)

WOW! I thought it looked great before, but now it's fantastic!

Great work Spacies #*# #*# #*#

You should be VERY proud of your work, Spacies. I'm sure the CI Guys will be very happy once the side art is on the machine.

This project has benefited from a number of freely given items and help, from a box of parts mailed over from the US by Cliffy (who even refused my paypal payment for just the shipping!), an AFM scoop from Lloyd (which will feature in the next game), a web site created for us, a populated system 11 playfield for all the mechs we needed from Bumper... just read the Contributors tab on the site.
But this was an unexpected and very special contribution to this project, something that will add a professional touch to the initial impression of the machine. One pinball addict today said "That looks as good as anything that ever came out of Williams in the 90's". It was no faint praise either, he meant it.
We've added Spacies to the Contributors page, but another thank you here won't go astray!
So thanks Bro !!

I think all the aussie pinball community are proud of the work done to create Coconut Island, and goodonya Spacies for giving the cab the artwork it deserved!

Unbelievable amount of work there Spacies, interesting to see how it is all done.
How many hours of work did you put in to create your masterpiece?

Great job with that artwork - very professional, really sets it off. I am constantly amazed by the skills certain people possess here.

Like I said before, you don't wanna know bro :lol To put it into some perspective, the monkey took about an hour ^%^
Its pretty hard to just draw something with detail on the computer from scratch. Usually you sketch it on paper, take a photo of something or scan it and then insert that as your first layer and lock it. Then you draw over the top and tweak it so it looks right. Then you fill in the colours and tweak those. Then you muck around some more and more and more and more until you are happy.
Then the monkey is done and you start on something else.
So yeah, a lot of work so far ^&^

First print!
Found about 20 mistakes so I have corrected them all now.
Here is the print tiled on A3 and taped together. Its a good idea to do this before the final decal printing because you can look over it a lot easier than on a monitor.

"20 mistakes" !@#
1. Paper fold in one corner
2. Sticky tape not sticking
3. Took 30 seconds more to dry
4. ......
#@!

Ha ha ha.
Nah mate, found some stray starfish in the trees, some bubbles on the monkey, lines that weren't joined etc. Fixed them up :p
Nug and Nick, I just sent a PDF to you both through yousendit.com
Please Download it and take a look. Have a zoom in and tell me if you want anything changed.
-
Are you going to make a right side too or just keep the pinnie in the corner? %%$
HA! And you thought you were almost finished...
That's OK though. It's your big chance to squeeze a volcano in there. <.>
Looks fantastic!
-
Yeah, nohwere near finished yet :lol
Most of the RHS will be a copy and paste/reflect but I will have to move a bit of stuff around to make it fit so it won't be 100% the same on the RHS.
Still got to do the front and the head box :(
I did have a volcano in the original but I took it out. I liked the tranquil look of a deserted island more.
Cheers mate $&&

Just gotta tidy up the front a little bit and thats the LHS, RHS and front done!

I'm on the list for the first run of NPC kits. Will you do the art for mine?
It ought to be dead easy. You've done most of the work already.
The Aussies have kicked it off in a big way, so I'm thinking of a theme that captures the true modern American spirit.
I'd kind of like to do something original, but we hardly create any new movies, television or other entertainment anymore, so I figured It would be more "American" to just do a spin-off.
We mostly just sit around the house, consume and get obese, and we're slowly moving closer & closer to a police state, so for both those reasons I'd like to just call it "Donut Island". #@#
How much would you charge to draw up a D and change a couple colors? &&
Truly awesome work spacies.
Maybe a volcano would be better for a topper anyways. That would kick! They could put one of those kiddie lawnmower toy domes with the little bouncing balls in there to simulate lava and kill two tie-ins with one shot, hehe.

Its simply f**king wild !
i really WISH you were here last 6 weeks *%*

Spacies ....Great job with the artwork
Nug and Nick....awesome achievement overall
Can't wait to see finished product.
If we can be of any assistance let us know

You can feel it coming together now. Artwork, playfield, assemblies etc. You can see the pieces falling into place. A truly monumental achievement that everyone involved with it should be so proud. Well done guys!

f**k...
i am so excited about putting this sucker together...a 'new' game is born?!
...its sorta like a child i suppose ? (probably not !)....like a pin-stork maybe @.@

When you get it together and it fires up the first time ...i bet it will be a roar that will be heard all around australia
Well at least the neighours for 2 km around will hear your yells of joy

spacies - The more I look at your work, the more I agree with any statements that YOUR work is better than most cabs that came out of the WMS factory.
Can the artwork be made into some sort of PC Background ?

Very awesome. Did you use Illustrator?

I started to start on it.
Trying to stay within the "true modern American spirit" vibe, I talked to some local corporate managers first (they can be found everywhere around here) since that's just how it's done on this side of the pond. They almost shot it down completely, which will happen eventually if I keep them in the loop. They wanted to change the name to "Happy Winner" but I stood my ground and insisted, in words they'd understand, that it is "advisable to keep as much interchangeable text as possible for it to remain efficient and viable". Then they put their heads together and settled on.... (drum roll please)
"DONUT LAND, LLC"
a bit less exciting, but has same letter count so that works. Since I knew ahead of time that you were into it, I told them that I would see if you could make the O into a donut - my ace in the hole.
()
Watch out kids! Here comes the USA. %%$
hehe
BTW, that sweet little coconut probably won't work for this one. An accurate local representation would need much more puffiness everywhere, plus she'd probably have to have two or three tattoos and two or three begging toddlers in tow.
Wow. I don't know I'm a frustrated old cuss or just need a vacation. @@^
Cheers!

you nailed it perfectly with that one ^%^

"Lock it in" Spacies. That looks better than anything that rolled off the Bally/Williams production line. I like it more than the CV art !

I know i posted before but Spacies, your work is fantastic. Any tips on learning the illustrator craft...? anyway if you did hold a gun to my head, the only thing i would try is a different colour for the grey writing on Coconut Island !@#. The other colours around it look so vibrant? Anyway i'll shut up now as i couldnt come up with anything that comes close to that.
Well Done!!!
-
Well I couldn't agree more with the "better than Bally' comments that have been made. This looks absolutely awesome Spacies!
None of you realise just how floored nug was by all of this work - but I had him on the phone almost speechless the last few days. $$(
Talk about capping off nug's brilliant work on the game itself - Spacies, your artwork does the CI team proud! Well done!

Looks awesome Spacies ^^^

Woohoo. I made some changes mate.
New sun (can stay or go) and should I add it to the side art?

I know what you are saying but they are meant to be carved from stone. Not much else I can do really because if I lighten them up they 'disappear' into the mountain behind it. It looks much better printed out. :D

Make sure you don't forget bleed. I've seen a couple of repro cab decals lately that have no bleed and therefore no room for error. Most people need a little breathing room. I don't because I install everything perfectly #@#
-
Good point Chuck! We might need a couple of inches all round!
-
Yeah, I have that in mind. Nug said he added a bit for trimming.
Nug, the dims you gave me, how much did you add all round on those measurements you gave me?
Oh, I removed the flare from the headbox and put in the sun. I have added some glow but that was after I saved this pic.

3-4 mm everywhere
-
You happy with that or should I add some more?
I am happy to leave it as is if you are confident enough mate :D
Alternative sun on the sides and top:

Halo around the sun:

I prefer the Halo effect @@*

I like it better without the sun. My 2c.

i too prefer the old. the refraction is insane ! *%*
but i would have loved that sun on my playfield :D
-
Yep- agree - lose the sun.
Spacies might have got a bit addicted to making this already OUTSTANDING art look a little bit better, its a bit of an addiction to create and then once happy with it you think 'what MORE ' can I do that will add to this image etc.
My 2c

Sun has gone. Back to the flare instead.
Here is the final headbox:

Wotto, I agree. Time to just pull the plug on this instead of staring at it and thinking about what to do.
-
great work spacies #*#
-
Wow that looks fan-bloody-tastic! this machine will put my Vortex machine to shame :lol
cant wait to see the finished product ^^^
-
Holy shit its done!

Well done Spacies.

Cheers mate! Looks like a pretty fun island to be on huh? :lol
Nick and Nug, note, I added in the horizon on sides. Looks much better with that. I have also added it to the front after I posted that pic.
Found a couple of stray items but its all clean now. You both will have the jpg in your email inbox. Zoom in and see what you think.
-
I have said this before, but can't think of any other way to say it - Wow! Simply wow!

Fark ! The FLYER !
...this is insane. speechless (typeless ?!)
looks totally like the real thing !
:D
-
$%$ Incredible stuff, looks fantastic and love the flyer :lol
-
Ha ha ha.
Well a quick flyer anyway :lol
After I did that I removed the coconut from under the plunger. I don't think we need it there because the metal plunger surround will cover it too much.
You see my wrap around cloud in the top corners. Fancy huh?
What colours legs, lockdown and rails you thinking of for this machine?
-
Didn't notice it until you pointed it out but I do like the wrap around cloud nice touch gives the cab a more panoramic feel *%*
-
Ha ha ha.

i think youre right, will look better with just the sky behind it.
chrome lock down...legs not sure..theyre rustly JD gold ones at the moment *!@
suggestions ?
-
The whole art theme is shiny and bright and after seeing that pic I would go with silver/chrome.
-
Something different? maybe paint blue to match the blue water at the bottom of the cab artwork !@#
-
Blue legs come to mind but the silver ones don't seem to overpower the look where as blue or any other colour may.
I suppose you would have to see if blue suited
Spacies is the master he can give you an idea for any colour legs
-
indeed done.
ill pinch them off police force for now !
will gets some leg protectors too.
-
need leg protectors to protect the work of art from spacies.....

Better? :lol
-
Need to say "proudly an Australian built pinball" on the flyer....
because it is quite an achievement
whats the the saying.. "you beauty mate"
-
here you go !

F*ck - Nug - we've got a bloody flyer! I'm stoked!
-
My vote = Chrome Legs @@*
Now - to sound like a !!@ I think the translite needs 'something' - Maybe instead of the wording going straight across in that strip, the text could be shaped to fit in the upper left section ( yes behind her arse ! ) and maybe in a more fitting 'island' style text !@# Worth a look Spacies ??
Will there be flashers behind the boobies *!@
-
That's not the official translite (at least not at this time). Just makes the "flyer" look more complete though.

No worries.
But it does look quite good.
Maybe Spacies can try a few things with it anyway and see where it ends up !@#
-
Yeah just mucking around really.

Not too sure what the guys want re translite.
-
I'm in favor of the Chrome legs, and the current Translite.
The topper needs to be added - That was going to be a Lawn Mower ?
I think a volcano with a red flasher would look great - Two coconut trees either side with 12 volt fans providing the player with a nice cool change "Super Jackpot".
-
Everyones got their thinking caps on today !@#
Some great ideas flowing around &&
-
Should translite say "Welcome to Coconut Island"
maybe "let the Island take you on a fantastic adventure"
-
I will have a play with the translite.
See what happens.

Here's a very early shot of the topper - it now has a little fan inside that blows the grass out the catcher during certain modes!
-
*!@ *!@ *!@
-
Sorry mate, you don't need to add the topper!
-
would I be a pain if i suggested the lawnmower would look better centred and facing straight-on?
!@#
-
I like the blue legs better, something different in my opinion #@#
cheers Ian.
-
Love the flyer! I'll offer thoughts anyway since they're really cheap.
You'll want the actual translite there eventually, but when you put it there, don't you dare file the coconut girl away.
I'd make the machine look like it's sitting inside a stick hut or treehouse with big open, wide windows, mirror the girl and make her look like she's peeking in at you over the machine while drooping in from under the top of the window. Tuck that "would you leave" in there anywhere and it will be seen since it's a high-profile starburst anyway, and it will be more subtle and humorous. That will frame it in so it's not floating in space, and give the coconut girl more interesting context.
More great work man. Too cool.
$.01
p.s. Sorry, maybe that IS the real translite idea. I'm not sure what the fellers have in mind for the display and was thinking it would be taking up some space up above. I'd have to say that she would win some "best translite girl" contests if she ends up there somehow.
-
Hey i collect flyers... <..>
How do i go about getting one ? $#$
-
download the jpg's from here they will be collectors items because you are seeing the the evolution of the flyer before your eyes.

spacies you have out done yourself with the flyer too i think the light blue could be a lighter shade as to me its a little close to the cabinet ( just my 2 cents for whatr its worth)
buts is a super job to go with a great pin
